Latest Changes - May 16, 2020

Hey everyone! My name is Funki Monki and all I do is create meta breaking (hopefully) off meta decks! Today I'm bringing you a community favorite - Libram Paladin! I've seen this deck being played in so many different ways, but nothing seems to be working for people so I went back to the drawing board and refined and refined the archetype until I ended up with this list! This list has brought me to Diamond 6 with a 62% WR (and then I started meme-ing with other decks).

Proof:

A few points I wanted to mention while building/playing this archetype:

- Be VERY sparing with your board clears and only use them when absolutely necessary. There is TONS of healing in this deck so take a few hits to the face and make your opponent over commit. Your hard board clear of Libram of Justice + Wild Pyromancer or Consecration is hard to come by and probably won't draw that 2 card combo again for awhile.

My biggest issue (with this and pure paladin libram) is the mulligan. I am not getting close to 50% winrate, so maybe I'm missing something. Unless I get an Aldor Attendant in my opening hand it can easily be turn 4 before I can get anything to stick to the board, and by then it's way too late. What am I missing?

Update: Made a couple changes (removed both Replicat-o-tron, added a Sand Breath and Lightforged Blessing). With a better spell to minion ratio and a slightly lower mana curve I can much more reliably get the key combos with pyro and mountseller, and Liadrin gets me more variety of buffs. After the changes I'm getting closer to 65% winrate.

I dont have Maiev and one replicator. I lost 10 games in a row. this deck doesn’t work for me, alas.</pre>

You can't win vs tempo DH anymore after the nerf. It was actually a bit of a buff in the sense that now tempo DH runs a better more streamlined deck with beaming sidekicks that put their stuff out of consecration range so you tend to just lose the game. they also won't let you establish a minion for hand of adal. In any event, DH just kills you before you can play a libram of hope and there is nothing you can do. The chances you even draw one before you are dead are slim since you are literally dead on turn 5/6 consistently. The deck is so fast they don't even bother with priestess. They often run double mana burn so that you can't even play libram of hope/amber watcher. The paladin deck is so predictable and fair and honest and bad that mana burn makes it obsolete (mana burn is a completely busted card in high legend).

I switched maiev for archmage vargoth and Ive been using it with librams of hope to get one for free If archmage puts the heal for friendlies then thats a plus if not you still end up with a extra 8/8 w/divine shield and itll count when you using lady liadrin so you get a bunch more librams of hopes

Recurring Villain is not actually that great in this deck. I've tested him quite a bit in earlier versions. At 4 attack he doesn't pressure control decks enough and without taunt or rush he doesn't impact the board enough to be good vs aggro.
